Gender

James E O'Doherty was born in 1850 and was a Solicitor in Buncrana. The others in the house on the Census were: 

Ellen -sister born 1851,

Mary J O'Doherty aged 25 born in Brooklyn USA

Cassie Cunningham, Cook

Annie Magee, Servant

Dennis MacLaughlin, Servant

His nephews were living with him and the family in 1901 in Buncrana, William Joseph O'Donnell 26 years old and James 23 years old. William Joseph went to live and work in Derry and married Mary O'Donnell. They are my Great Grandparents. We believe James E O'Doherty was Mary O'Donnell's Uncle.

Anyone with any information please be in touch. We would love to hear more.
